We are leaving tomorrow (sunday) at 9am. I found some generic numbers on word and printed them on nice paper. We have family checking for us Monday in case they arrive. But if not - I have backup.

 

So ready for Mexico!!! The weather is starting to look alot better ladies. At least no storms just some rain here and there.

 

I will be taking tons of pics!!! Can't wait to see JoZee down there. We'll be in rm 292.

 

Can't wait!!!

 

 

Hey Janna, I'm here! got in today after some flight horrors!  I have a meeting with the WC at 9:30 tomorrow for our blood test maybe i'll see you in there!

Hey girls! The Resort is amazing!!! There are a few sprinkles here and there but nothing too terrible.

 

I highly recommend upgrading to the master suite if you can!!! It is amazing and super huge!! Plus there's so many amenties, like free long-distance!! We got an awesome deal on it. They offered it to us for just $100 extra a night. We originally had a royal jr. suite oceanview and the master suite is oceanview as well but man it is nice!!! We have room 920. I highly recommend it and we're close to the gazebo.

 

Customs was super easy. If you can get in the line with the scanner - do it. That way they don't open your bags and go through it.

 

JoZee!! YAY!!! We don't meet with Michelle until Tuesday at 9am. can't wait!! Hope to see you too!!!

 

Oh!! we did the couples massage that was part of our package. Amazing!!! definitely do it!!!

Awww thanks, so sweet!   I changed my color scheme about 4 times and drove my bridal party nuts since the girls couldn't order their dresses until I decided.  Oooops, haha

 

Anyways in the end I'm sooooo happy with my final decision and I love how the bright colors look in the pictures.

Hey Ladies,

 I just posted my planning thread. It's a little messy-lol- due to some pic upload issues. Also, it's in two posts. 9 days left!

Girls!!!

 

I saw jozee's wedding ceremony from afar and it looks amazing!!! aw!!! so happy for her!! Oh! so a great surprise is that Royal now offers different chair styles. Their white and folding kind look so much better then the conference chairs draped in chair covers. I was super excited about that.

 

All I can say is that the food quality at Gran Porto is nowhere near the same as the Royal. I'm actually pretty mad at my welcome dinner. We picked everything based on the quality of the Royal side and we ended up with not what we wanted. It was sorta what we picked but not really.

 

So except for that little aspect it's been great here so far. I definitely recommend the Tulum Express Tour. Just beautiful and full of ancient history.

 

The sun here is much brighter and stronger than US and Texas!! I am wearing 100spf sunblock on my face and 85 spf sunblock on my body and I am tanning. So definitely be prepared.

Are any of you ladies doing colored bracelets for your guests?

 

A friend of mine went to 3 destination weddings last year and said her favorite/most useful thing was colored bracelets that all the guests wore during the trip so that they could identify each other as part of the group. She went alone to all and said it was nice for her to be able to recognize and hangout with the other guests.

JHarris,

     You're up next! Hope you have a beautiful wedding day! Glad to hear that it's sunny--- my little weather app shows clouds and rain every single day...

 

These different chairs-- I wonder- if they are charging more for them....

never thought of it, but that's a great idea! the resort bracelet is clear (at least, it was a few years back), so you could get practically anything. it would even be a good spur-of-the-moment purchase in playa - perhaps to add to the OOT bags?

My WC gave me the option of white garden chairs as well at no additional charge for my cocktail.  I think they usually charge for them because I remember asking for prices on them.

 

This is what they look like:

Girls,

I just did my pin up/ boudoir pics today, it was so much fun!!  My FI was suspicious because my hair is curled when I came back from work..so I came up with smth like I went for a free makeover session at MAC...lol Here are some of the raw pics (unedited), so sorry for the skin imperfection and extra fat!  I am sure Photoshop will do wonders! I didn't went for lingeries, because I zzz nude every nite, so I think he will be more exciting to see me in corsets.
